The release of Marvel Studios‘ Captain America: Brave New World is upon us, and with that, Harrison Ford is bringing his straight-up gramps energy to the press tour. On Jake’s Takes, the actor was asked about his process for playing President Ross in the film. “The process is quite simple,” Ford joked. “I make faces. They make another face on top of it that fits the face I’m making. Basically, it’s just making faces.” Ford added, “I didn’t know what I was going to do. I was all ready to do something, but nobody gave me any firm instructions. Somehow they just assumed I knew how to become a Red Hulk.”

The reporter then asked if Ford thought Red Hulk could take on Mark Ruffalo’s Green Hulk, a question that no doubt reminds Ford of the fanboy speculative category questions that haunt him. “It does fall into a category,” Ford said. “It falls into the ‘who shot first’ category. So the answer is Greedo.” We love our unserious old man.

Ford paused his troll roll to give his insight as to why actors want to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, besides just the money. “Nobody does this kind of movie except for fun. It’s fun. Actors get to act, do silly stuff, but they don’t do it silly. They do it sincerely for the audience’s pleasure, for expanding the universe, their limits of your imagination. But it’s got to have a human context. It’s got to have some emotional realities that you can feel what you’re seeing. Otherwise you’re just looking at it. Unless you can feel it emotionally relate to it, it’s not useful.”

Captain America: Brave New World opens February 14.
